FLYNN

My story

Flynn is a 4 year old (DOB 1/26/22) male Rough Collie who is in search of a collie savvy home to love and keep him for the rest of his days! Flynn is a BIG BOY weighing in at 89 pounds as we speak! He really doesn`t have any to lose, either! He`s just a little...oversized. Like the Shaquille O`Neill of the collie world! Flynn lost his home when financial disaster struck and his family had to leave the state. As horrible as it was to lose their dogs, they knew that finding a great forever home was the best thing they could do for them. Flynn was a working sheepdog in his former home, and even dabbled in some livestock guardian work apparently. His previous owner said he often would work double time making sure nothing bothered his flock! Needless to say, Flynn is accustomed to a lot of exercise and things to do, and will be looking for an active family for this reason. Flynn grew up with dog savvy kids and should do fine in a home with them. He will chase cats outdoors but should be able to learn to get along in the home, we believe. A dog savvy cat is a plus. He is pretty rock solid when it comes to new situations, and retains his lovely temperament through it all. He is friendly and outgoing and very willing to please. While he has spent a large part of his life outside tending to his sheep, he is crate trained and primarily house trained though he may need a refresher course when he lands in his new abode as he was used to having pretty free access indoors to outdoors in his last home. Flynn does fine with female dogs, but he does not do well with males for the most part. For this reason, he will not be placed with another male dog, no exceptions. A meet and greet will be required for any resident dogs of the female persuasion. Flynn has a very thick coat that will need plenty of upkeep, including a minimum of weekly brush outs and occasional trips to the groomer (he does fine in the bath, with a dryer, and with brushing). He walks relatively well on a leash and seems to mind his manners as well. Flynn will be available to go to his new home around 5/16.
